Many parents and teachers are concerned about children’s lack of activities, but not all know what can be done about it. One school principal, however, came up with a creative solution. Zhang Pengfei, head of a school in northern China, decided to change the daily exercise program and get his students moving by teaching them a modern dance routine. The headmaster and 700 pupils of the school now perform the 30-minute routine every day at break time. When a video of the dance was shown on social media, it became a big hit. Since 1951, primary, middle and high schools in China have required pupils to undertake a workout every day. It involves instructions shouted out over speakers. But Zhang has decided to break with tradition, with pupils and staff members performing the dance routine instead. He first discovered the routine at a public square and decided to learn it himself. He never imagined the video would attract so much interest across the world. On one site it received more than 250 million views. Weight problems among children are on the rise in China. It’s estimated that 28% of Chinese children will be overweight by 2030. Zhang’s introduction of a daily dance routine may be a step in the right direction.
